Wa r n i n g !
A driver’s attention to the road must always be his /
her primary focus when driving. For your safety and the safety of others,
programming and selecting
features through the
multifunction steering wheel should only be done
by the driver when traffic and road conditions
permit it to be done safely, including pulling over to a
safe location where that is required for safe operation.

Calling up service indicator manually:
Turn the electronic key in steering lock to position 1.

Press button j or k until the FSS indicator

Pressing the è or ÿ button displays the next or

Important!
The FSS indicator is not an engine oil level indicator.
See page108 for engine oil level indicator.Notes:
When disconnecting vehicle battery for one or more
days at a time, such days will not be counted. Any such
days not counted by the FSS can be added by your
Mercedes-Benz Center.
The interval between services is determined by the type
of driving for which the vehicle is used. For example,
driving at extreme speeds, and cold starts combined
with short distance driving in which the engine does not
reach operating normal temperature, reduce the interval
between services.
